don't want and don't have time to write here. to be short - I'm very disappointed 1/10

An unabashed masterpiece, albeit unpolished, being indie. The art direction is world-class beautiful and fresh. The few locations, characters and set pieces are very carefully designed for maximum quality. The music is fantastic. The writing and narrative are flawlessly presented, the player can discover it at his own rate and is rewarded for interacting with the game as much as possible, which is wonderful, but will unfortunately not be as appreciated by players who do not enjoy reading and pondering. The gameplay is actually well-designed and stimulating. I don't mind the cube puzzles as well, but they change in tone too much from the rest of the game even though they fit well narratively. It's the only oversight to me. In my opinion the game needs to be played and thought of for a while for it to be complete. You can look for someone else's conclusions about it as well, if too impatient. Essentially almost every piece of information in it is part of the narrative and important. Congratulations to the developers for releasing something so deep, beautiful and meaningful. Thanks for the exhilarating experience. All i wish is that you made more, and others developed games with such dedication for interactive art and gameplay. It's sorely needed.

This game look amazing but the developers decided to **** on it The story is awesome, unique, the graphics are good, the artwork is amazing then there is game play, absolutely disgusting, it makes you frustrated and give you headache, with that disgusting controls they decided to make the hardest nastiest puzzles of all time, there is only 4 puzzles in the game (thank god) and you can skip them after you lose (if you manage to lose which is harder than winning the puzzle), they are all the same puzzles over and over again, and its not only a bad puzzle, it's the worst puzzle i have ever played in my entire life, and i played lots of puzzle games overall: Story: 9/10 Game play: 1/10 Graphics: 7/10 Artwork: 9/10 never gonna play this game ever again because of the disgusting controls

A good game for the studio that after the collapse was supposed to raise a reputation for itself at least somehow especially. Good plot and nice graphics. The only negative, I hate these damn cubes

За старание пять баллов. В остальном все не так и хорошо. Она жестко фризит и ворует память, но для студии дебютанта круто. Активижн и убейсофт делают на том же уровне и все покупают.. В целом игра вроде про квест, а получается за кубиками бегать пришлось. Я понимаю возможно не нашли решения чем нас занять, но лучше бы мы побродили по степи, ибо пространств много, а пришлось кубики собирать. Немного не к месту, но детям для развития в самый раз. Потом у нас история вроде и глубокая и твист есть серьезный, а заканчивается неким перемещением. Скомкано в общем. Кому рекомендую? Детям от 8 лет и жо 17.

What's more boring than cooking ? Cooking in a video game ! That's one of the reasons why I quickly left the yurt and ran around in the wilderness, and around, and around, and it was all empty and lifeless and funless and depressing and boring. It's very pretty, until you've seen the same rock pasted for the millionth time. Guys, if your game is so linear, why do you set it in a fake open world ? Back in the yurt then, where I can open a thousand drawers and read tons of small labels and notes, mostly in English, which is bizarre and not the Mongolia I remember, but fair enough. Sorry but environmental narrative is good when it's in the background, not when it's the only thing to look at. Also, for a game which relies so much on manipulating objects, it's very clunky. Every time I try to put an object back where it was, I end up losing it on the floor. And it seems the crouching key is only there for the purpose of being able to spot things that have fallen to the ground. I dislike empty game worlds.

This game has great visuals, but that's all. Storytelling is pretty much messed and turns out to be very silly when you dig more deeply into it. Gameplay is almost nonexistent here, we have some sparse adventure elements mixed with tedious and boring arcade parts (gladly we can skip those after failure). This game could be very good, but no, only wasted potential we can see here. What a shame...

Intriguing and relaxing game with a wonderful soundtrack - a true indie gem! Developed by Flying Cafe for Semianimals (a studio created by former developers of STALKER: Call of Pripyat, Heroes of Might and Magic 5 and Allods Online), Cradle is an immersive, atmospheric adventure game set in a somewhat post-apocalyptic Mongolia. You wake up in 2076 in a yurt in the middle of a steppe and cannot remember a thing. There is a broken mechanical girl in your room, and a huge, abandoned dome nearby. You can roam the world freely, interact with objects and physics, read tons of documents that help you understand what happened (think Gone Home and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter). There are a lot or Orwellian things going on here, there is also a mysterious virus called 'desperatoxin' and some strange, smoke-like creatures. Your task is to repair your companion, explore the dome and learn what happened to the world and human society.

Very stylish and beautiful game. The game has a lot of thoughtful details, interesting storyline, interesting quests, the game is also a stylish and thoughtful little details, the game interesting.

дивовижна гра-квест від українських розробників, яка надовго ще сидить у твоїй уяві від цікавого сюжету. на жаль продовження не буде. чекаємо на новий шедевр від чудової студії

first game ever i wanted to finish badly for the mystery of the story but couldn't for how much i didn't enjoy the gameplay. the pazzles are so random and boring (make food for your animal for example) i just stopped playing after the 10th time i needed to look for a walkthrough to continue playing. this game should have been a movie. even a silent movie. much lost potential.

I just beat Cradle, it was an huge disapointment! The game was pretty meh, find a few items, do the exact same mini-game over and over, then it ends without you really knowing what happens..

Small but hearttouching game with neat visuals and music. It's a shame that it failed in sales and developers, perhaps, will go bankrupt. Alas, poor Yorick!

It is so beatiful in every way: story, characters, graphics, world. Maybe gameplay is too simple, but this game is not about it, it is about the story, like Dear Esther or Ethan Carter. But it'll not reveal it's story so easy. You need to look for pieces of the world under every table and in every box. And you need to play it at least 2 times to understand more.

Great interactive story with few puzzles. Good music. Good atmosphere. Player must be very attentive to the records on any piece of paper to understand all story in the end. That's an amazing.

Cradle is a beautiful story of a mechanized post apocalyptic world experienced through the eyes of a person who lost his memory and uses a mechanical woman to figure out what is happening in the world. Your goal is to do quests and mini games and through those you experience the world around you. It is extremely atmospheric and very frustrating. The game doesn't tell you anything and you can interact with pretty much everything. It took me an hour to do the first quest which can be done in 5 minutes if you know where to look. I received the game weeks ago so I'm a bit surprised it is only 13€ albeit it has little to no replay value since the quests are always the same. You can expect to beat the game in less than 10 hours if you're completely clueless, probably around 4 hours in the second playthrough. The main voice actor is a bit stiff and I don't like him but overall the game is definitely for anyone who wants to experience a strange and beautiful world.
